Origins of the Modern Chinese State pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
What is “Chinese” about China’s modern state? This book proposes that the state we see today has developed over the past two centuries largely as a response to internal challenges emerging from the late empire. Well before the Opium War, Chinese confronted such constitutional questions as: How does the scope of political participation affect state power? How is the state to secure a share of society’s wealth? In response to the changing demands of the age, this agenda has been expressed in changing language. Yet, because the underlying pattern remains recognizable, the modernization of the state in response to foreign aggression can be studied in longer perspective.
The author offers three concrete studies to illustrate the constitutional agenda in action: how the early nineteenth-century scholar-activist Wei Yuan confronted the relation between broadened political participation and authoritarian state power; how the reformist proposals of the influential scholar Feng Guifen were received by mainstream bureaucrats during the 1898 reform movement; and how fiscal problems of the late empire formed a backdrop to agricultural collectivization in the 1950s. In each case, the author presents the “modern” constitutional solution as only the most recent answer to old Chinese questions. The book concludes by describing the transformation of the constitutional agenda over the course of the modern period.
Philip A. Kuhn is Francis Lee Higginson Professor of History at Harvard University. His most recent book is Soulstealers: The Chinese Sorcery Scare of 1768, winner of the Joseph Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies.

评分历时四个月终于看完了。然而没有看懂。哪天找中文本看看。
评分谁应该参与制定国家政策?如何减少政治竞争对公共利益的负面影响?如何平衡国家税收和地方、个人收入?清朝可说是亡于对这三个问题的处理不力。这些问题是所有国家都要面对的,美国国父们曾经和晚清士族有过同样的顾虑,却选择了不同的道路。本书即从历史和文化角度介绍了中国所做的选择的原因,也就是现代中国国家体制的来源。内容很有启发性,而篇幅并不长,任何人如果想更好地理解现代中国,都应该读读本书。中文版译为《中国现代国家的起源》,大陆版可能有删节。
评分The key concept is the constitutional agenda,which consist of: a set of concerns about the legitimate ordering of public,a will to grapple.
评分找到了电子版pdf,很赞
从1970年代起,“晚期帝制中国”这个概念逐渐在美国的汉学界(中国学研究领域)流行起来,甚至连美国清史研究会(Society for Qing Studies)主办的《清史问题》(Ch’ing-Shih Wen-T’i)杂志也于1985年6月更名为《晚期帝制中国》(Late Imperial China),更不用说许多明清史著作...
评分孔飞力对中国现代国家形成的讨论基于“晚期中华帝国”的框架,而这一概念也是海外汉学圈学术积累的结果。如果说《叫魂》不断转动万花筒,折映出晚期帝制中国不同的症结和隐患,那么此书则是用一个视角更广大,理路更通贯的叙述对近现代中国的政治变迁进行整合,孔氏的思考和关...
评分孔飞力(Philip Alden Kuhn)是海外汉学中“中国中心观”的代表人物。“中国中心观”滥觞于美国汉学家柯文,而孔飞力的《中国现代国家的起源》是这一立场的代表作之一。“中国中心观”所要克服的就是长期盘踞于海外汉学界的“刺激—反应”模式、“传统—现代”模式和“帝国主...
评分翻完了孔飞力的《中国现代国家的起源》,去惠州时带着但也只看了导论,当时看到说清朝末年的社会制度是“无法同自身政治使命和任务相契合的制度”(p.8)时还心想,嗯,挺马克思的。昨天读第一章时发现其迷人之处,史料丰富,论证流畅,今天读完这122页觉得能在这么短的篇幅处...
